“It’s typical Irish street food,” explains general manager Gregory Marlier. “We make the only authentic fish and chips in Belgium – crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside – and it is served with local beer or our own homemade lemonade.” Most of the sustainably sourced fish comes from Norwegian and Swedish waters and only non-breeding adults are caught using nets which gently skim the surface. “Sustainability is really important to us,” says Marlier. “We are also quick and affordable, serving very generous portions in wooden boxes reminiscent of how things used to be done in Ireland. Prices range from 11-13 euros and people are rarely able to finish it all.”
